How did you score in your last round? - 2020

Nothing better than a shneaky few holes....

Played Open on Monday in a windy Corballis

My playing partners didn't show up and the tee sheet was full. Asked a three ball just after they teed off if I could join them, thankfully they obliged (3 great lads) - but something like that is the makings of a rushed pulled tee shot.

Was pretty happy with how I was hitting the ball. Finding it difficult to scramble which is knocking me out of contention for the competitions.
For anyone who knows the course the 9th hole which is a par three over water is playing so difficult in the winter. The wind is always in your face and it is a long carry to a narrow green which is tilted back towards the lake. I have made 1 par since November on this hole.

32 points of 13 (38 won it)
1 Birdie
4 Pars
8 Bogies
5 Doubles

8 FIR / 5 GIR

Played same comp

33 points off 19

1 birdie
1 par
11 bogies
4 doubles
1 scratch on the index 1!!

CSS was 33, disappointed not to get a cut in first comp out!

Greens were in ridiculously good nick!

In fairness I think they are consistently amongst the best out there. I played another course in the locality on paddies day and the greens where very rough (understandable given the time of year)

Thought this was worth a picture :P Didn't think i was anywhere near breaking 80, after only breaking 90 recently for the first time...and i just about wasn't. Missed a putt by a few milliliters on 17 for a birdie, and that would have just gotten me over the edge. Few duffed chips, and some pulled long irons early on (which i think i've figured out), but other then that, i hit the ball really well. Drives were great (bar 16), and some of my short game was seriously on form.

When things go well in golf, it really is an fantastic game

Same today, my best round had been 87 about 3 times a year for ages.....watch me post an 100 in Curragh next week

That's a brilliant round. Well done

Have to say though having seen you play that it's no surprise. You hit the ball a mile off the tee and know when to play conservative bump and runs when it's needed. Minimise the brain farts and there is a hell of a golfer in there

37 points in the Sunday comp.

Hit the ball really well today. Was out in 22 points and then my putter malfunction ed. Had a three putt from 10 feet to make a bogey on par 5. Followed that up by scratching par 3 13 with a 4 putt. Mentally so fragile over short putts... Even the ones that drop in saying a bloody rosary hoping they would drop and I'm not a religious man

Pulled it back together to have 36 points with 1 to play. Made a balls of the last from the fairway to scrape 1 more point. Massive chance to chalk up first win at corballis

That said, hit the ball better than ever. All the corona driven indoor chipping practice paying off

It puts a whole new meaning to Last Round

I'm comforting myself with the fact that my last round was a winning one.

Had 39 points off 21 for a gross score of 90. Just one of the best rounds I've ever played. Was 9 over after 14 holes and then a couple of poor club/shot choices (probably as a result of a bit of fatigue) had me 9 over for the last 4. One of my targets for the year was to break 90, so I am getting close to that now. Will obviously lose a bit of sharpness over the lockdown period, but I'll do my best to keep in shape for whenever it ends.

What a welcome return to this thread with a bit of positivity, 30 pts would do me as a decent return after the hiatus

well i should take a 10 week break more often, played castleknock this morning, off 12.
it started with the rain pissing down as i was getting ready at the boot of the car wondering WTF was i doing, but i had faith it would blow off. thankfully it did after about 2 holes and the raincoat could come off and she warmed up. it did threaten a couple more times, but thankfully it didn't get past a bit of drizzle.
so i hit a nice 5 iron off the first, duffed my approach, a great chip and slotted the par. happy out.
second hole found the right rough with my drive and blocked my second shot out to the next fairway, but a good approach saw me get to the edge of the green a long way from the hole, but rolled it nicely up for another par.
third found the sand and almost got up and down, fourth was my only penalty as i pushed my tee shot out to the right into the water, but another good chip saw me rescue a 5, a couple of more pars followed and i was striking it really well out of the centre. on the 7th a good strike but slightly pulled and i found the sand and again i couldn't get up and down. bogey on 8 was followed by a shocking 3 putt on 9. this rattled me i think because pin high on 10 and a putt from the fringe for eagle barely made it half way and i had to settle for par. similar putt on 11 saw a bogey. a long putt on 12 for birdie was pushed well right and that was FOUR 3putts in a row
bad tee shot on 13 found the 12th fairway and a blind approach came up short. my chip was ok but i couldnt make the putt so another bogey. 14 was my best hole, index 1 456yards and i took the tiger line, cut the corner and i flushed it to leave myself with about 110 to the pin. approach finished about 15 foot left of the flag and the birdie attempt horseshoed and stayed out
another great drive on 15 but my approach came up a little short in the wind and my putt from the fringe was another shocker pushed wide right but thankfully i held the 6 footer for par. another birdie lip out on par 5 16th but from a much longer putt than i should have left myself after being so close to the green in 2. got unlucky on 17 with a reasonable approach catching the obstacle tree right in front of the green dropped short. chip was only ok, but still gave the par putt a good look but it just rolled past. 18 was a near disaster, over the back of the green but putting from the long stuff meant i had to make sure to hit it hard enough, uphill, then downhill, right to left....sent it maybe 25 foot past and the next wasn't much better leaving myself a good 8 footer with break back down the hill....... Made it!!

So 38 points with FIVE 3putts in there, 8 pars, two 1 pointers and no scratches. I'll take that after not touching a club in so long.

Welcome back everybody, happy golfing

Absolutely horrible golf with 24 points off 24 (head down).
But
Simply didn’t care about the golf. Was absolutely fantastic to get out and have a bit of a laugh on how ****e the 3 of us were after the break and “giving awards” for the worst shot of the day (there were many on the list).

Aw man, what a wonderful day, great to be back. 42 points off 10 and that includes a scratch. 5 birdies in there too.

Some great scores above lads - great stuff

Played well - but couldn't get the unusual texture of greens - slow , full thick growth.

7 over (9 holes)- but who cares.

Its great to be alive and able to chase a little white ball around a field again

Played 9 yesterday evening bliss.

46 strokes or 17 pts was impressed to be honest no scratches and no GIR ha.. a few thinned chips and wayward drives but thats to be expected. Greens where very hairy and long which was usual as they are normally lightening but I'm sure theres a reason for it.

Welcome back to the real world Benny, Our greens looked and rolled super but it was like putting on glue just like what a lot of lads on here were saying about their greens but what the hell, just hit the putts harder

Big improvement today.

Well to start the weather was better and the cob webs were gone. Basically hit 1 bad shot and 35 good ones for level par over 9 holes.

Delighted - was out with friends too. Hadn't seen them obviously - both love their golf.

Ball was travelling serious distances - again you can see an unusual secondary growth on the greens making them more full ,like us all, the greens seem to be doing their own growth and hair cuts. The general look of the fairways and course is incredible.

So many things to be positive about at present. Won the skins -but can't get the fiver.

89 off 13. A few doubles but nothing worse. Not a good score but considering being thrown into it after a 2 month hiatus and not having played summer rules until now I'm actually happy enough. Didnt make a single putt that wasnt a short one.

Had I had a 100 I still would be happy just to be out tbh.
